A composition for forming a dynamic crosslinked polymer network may comprise (a) a dynamic crosslinker having formula R—R″R′N—S—S—NR′R″—R, wherein each R is a polymerizable group comprising a carbon-carbon (C—C) double bond capable of undergoing free radical polymerization and each R′ and each R″ are independently selected alkyl groups; (b) a polymer comprising a C—C double bond capable of undergoing free radical polymerization, a monomer comprising a C—C double bond capable of undergoing free radical polymerization, or combinations thereof; and (c) a free radical initiator, wherein the dynamic crosslinker does not comprise a urethane group.
A composition for forming a dynamic crosslinked polymer network, the composition comprising
A dynamic crosslinked polymer network comprising polymer chains covalently linked by dialkylamino disulfide linkages formed from a dynamic crosslinker having formula R—R″R′N—S—S—NR′R″—R, wherein each R is a polymerizable group comprising a carbon-carbon (C—C) double bond capable of undergoing free radical polymerization, wherein each R′ and each R″ is an alkyl group, and further wherein one of R′ and R″ on each respective nitrogen is substituted with a respective R as a substituent thereon, wherein R′ and R″ are not covalently bound together and do not form a cycloalkyl group containing a respective nitrogen, wherein the dynamic crosslinker does not comprise a urethane group.
